1621 Words
Sound of destruction. Smashing rocks continue magnitude and waves of the heavy gust.
“As expected from a creature born in this dungeon.”
The demon king said and swing her giant sword and cuts the man named Medrat. Medrat with his high-speed regeneration immediately got his body back to normal and aster that he attempted to flee using the same portal gate he uses to reach the blue palace.
But the Demon king ability. The demon king smashed the portal gate.
“Higher Sword skill: Dimension Sewer.”
After that, The demon king looks to Medrat and uses her Status-check.
Name: Medrat
Race: Spirit
HP: 1,000,000 / 1,000,000
MP: 9,900,000/ 9,900,000
Skill:
Abilities:
I’ve been cutting you all this time but my attacks are not working. Now I’m sure that this creature is not an ordinary spirit like those I face before.
The demon then put her hand to her sword and muttered a spell.
The sword change shape into its thinner form.
“Rune Sword: Spirit slayer.”
Medrat quickly counters and casts magic.
“Spirit magic: Spirit beam!”
Magical power was blaster like a ray of light toward the demon king. The ray of light pierces through the crystal walls of the crystal dungeon.
Adventurers and people wondering the whole dungeon felt its power and got stunned by the amount of magic used in that single attack.
“Without the portal gate, I can’t go anywhere anymore. I have no choice but to fight you with all I’ve got. Still, I can’t believe that the demon king is a cute little girl like you.”
“Little girl? I’m over 400 years old already. Sure that last attack got lots of impacts. This makes me more excited. I’m living so long and kill some of the heroes. I’m so bored waiting for the next hero. I wanted to have a great fight. That’s why I’m here.”
“I thought all people who came to this dungeon want the power to destroy the world.”
“That’s one of the things I want to have. The power to destroy the world I wonder what is it?”
“Genesis.”
Said Medrat in a serious tone.
“Genesis?”
The demon king looks very confused about what Medrat said. MEdrat seems to lower his guard and continue.
“The Genesis. It’s said to be the power to destroy the world.”
“Is that power obtainable when this dungeon is captured?”
“That’s impossible to obtain because only the chosen one was able to obtain it. This dungeon was born to wait for its awakening.”
A power that I’m not able to obtain. I was born to have everything in this world and this spirit is saying I’m not a chosen one.
The demon king clenched her hands and then give Medrat a raging gaze.
A demonic aura was released and the waves are terrifying enough to kill the monster near the area she is standing.
“There’s no way I’m able to accept that. There’s no way I’m going to accept, everything in this world exists to became mine.”
The demon king then suddenly disappeared from the ground she is standing.
Medrat coat himself with magic and suddenly raised his foot to counter the demon king's upcoming attack. The Demon king avoided the kick with her extreme speed and deliver an attack using her sword.
[Rune sword: spirit slayer can cut through anything that is untouchable. Its blade can cut through souls and decrease the target's MP by 20% every time its blade connects to the target. The extra ability it offered is Cursed of the third cut When the target got cut in the same place three times the target will die immediately]
Genesis? Is that a hero ability? As a demon king, I can my Unique skill: Ability Thief. I can steal any type of ability and use it as mine. If Genesis is an Ability I can just rob it from the chosen one.
With the demon king's sword. The demon cut every limb Medrat have and kicked him flying to the ground.
“My high regeneration is not working anymore.”
“It’s not going to work anymore. I figure out that the mana in the dungeon helps you regenerate fast.”
Said, demon king.
Medrat looks around in his surroundings and is puzzled.
“We’re still inside the dungeon why my regeneration is not working?”
“Still in the dungeon? Look closely.”
“Barrier? This place is currently out of this world.”
“Correct! This place is now banished from the rest of the world. There’s no way you can go away anymore. A great spirit of the crystal dungeon. This is you’re last. I have some great time.”
The demon king then uses her sword to stab Medrat’s chest and pierced his heart.
Medrat choke blood and turned it into tiny light particles.
“This is getting boring… I hate wasting my energy anymore. Since I’m already the strongest creature in this world. To maintain my status. I just have to destroy the chosen one before it awakens. Before it awakens in crystal dungeon.”
The demo king said.
“Having fun?”
Said the demon girl in a black robe.
“I battle a great guardian spirit, but he still loses.”
“You are the strongest creature in this world after all.”
“Where is that naked one?”
“She refuses to come here and go attack the nearby town. She said she wanted to eat some fresh children's hearts.”
The demon king's sword transformed into a different form.
Demon sword: Destruction Blade.
“Are you serious about that? Are you destroy this dungeon. Then this precious crystal that contains magical power will be destroyed as well.”
Said the demon girl in a black robe.
The demon king turned her glaring eyes to the girl.
Upon receiving direct eye contact the girl started choking blood and fell to the ground.
“Cough! Cough! Cough!”
“Are you ordering me?! You a lowly demon?!”
“I’m not my majesty… But you thirst for an opponent that will give you a battle that will satisfy your cravings. That genesis might be the one that will satisfy that thirst. The one that will wield the power to destroy the world.”
Having deep thought after hearing the demon girl's opinion. The demon king makes a deep breath and puts her sword back to its normal and kept it in its shadow.
“I’m interested… If the heroes can’t defeat me then that chosen one might be able to kill me.”
The demon king said.
“We’re this deep now. We might encounter the S-rank monster Crystal dragon.”
The demon girl said.
“I would love to have that as my pet.”
“I wanted to defeat it.”
Shivering with thrill and excitement the demon king walked aimlessly inside the dungeon. The demon girl then followed her and they started searching for the nest of the crystal dragon.
In the Kingdom of Grandellia.
The king is currently in a state of anxiety after the continuous bad news coming to the kingdom. Retto the knights of knights is death including one of the princes. The S-rank adventurers he deployed lost their communication and his wife nearly lost herself after hearing the happening to her own child.
The king is currently looking toward the starry sky from the big window in his office. With a glass of wine in his hand, he then goes into deep thinking.
“Power to destroy the world… For sure other countries are interested in such power. I already lost many things. I can’t afford to lose anything further.”
The king said.
“Are you sure my majesty?”
The one talking to the king is one of the founders of the magic school in the Grandellia kingdom. Rainard Alvarez also one of the 12 wizard saints on the whole continent. The 12 wizard saints are the 12 extremely powerful and skilled Mages of the continent. They are considered exceptionally strong where a single member can defeat a more powerful Mage and adventurers with little effort.
“Let’s use the power of Pleiades and destroy the dungeon.”
“You're aware of the great amount of magic it consumes my majesty. Even I who have a huge pool of magic can’t use it. In order to use it 7,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 MP(Magical power) is needed to activate it.”
“There are many citizens in this country. I will order them all to give the half of their magical power to activate the Pleiades.”
“You’re saying you’re going to sacrifice people's magical powers for this? That includes the children and women in this country.”
“This is the only way, we can’t let other countries get that power. Gather the council and start the preparation for the Pleiades!”
The king orders Rainard and leave.
The fate of the people inside the Crystal dungeon is going worst.
